This blog is dedicated to all The Little People in New Albany. Always remember The Freedom to Speak no matter what the situation. We are not going to give these Freedoms away. No one shall take these Rights from Us. The moment we begin to see the personal agendas in City Government, We should speak out. We now have a voice. We can make a difference on the way our City Government operates.
My philosophy is Common Sense and seeing things as they are, and doing things as they should be done.

We are outraged at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick-fil-A company it's a great American story that is being smeared by vicious hate speech and intolerant bigotry from the left and the local progressives!Chick-fil-A is a business, family owned business at that not a "party" such as Democrat or Republican. We feel that the ignorance of NAC shows through their post.NAC is entitled to their opinion but NOT their made up facts.It is a shame that people feel that what they want should tear the fabric of others beliefs. We have NO hate or dislike for homosexuals but we believe marriage is between "a man and wife."NAC are the ones who "scream" buy local and support local businesses!We support Chick-fil-A at least they take a stand for what they believe in.We ask our readers and supporters of Freedom Of Speech to stop at Chick-fil-A on State Street Wednesday August 1st. Show your support for this local business and their right to own, open and to simply exercise his right to constitution-given free speech.Living in America means that you're free to publicly hold an opinion and this country was founded on freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.This Wednesday, August 1st, order a great chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A and tell them you support them and their stand!

Pelosi states she's tried just about everything to get her democrat colleagues to open their wallets for Obama. In early June, House Minority Leader Nancy (Botox) Pelosi tried to shame her members into giving, distributing notes to each of them with a request for cash and asking them if they are part of "the team!"Nancy Pelosi, the most HATED politician in America today, is RICH enough to kick in millions of her own money, how does that sound?BTW, why won't Nancy (Botox) Pelosi release her tax records? What is she hiding? Maybe the money she scammed on the insider trading "MasterCard" deal.Well look at the bright side Democrats you still have Obama's MSM Super Wolf Pac press pals in the tank for you providing millions $$$ of in-kind support.The first indication of how a candidate or party is doing is it's ability to RAISE cash.(Crickets chirping)It looks like to us Obama likes running deficits, even within his own failing campaign.Listen!That splashing sound you hear in Congress is rats deserting the "Hope & Change" sinking ship...

First, our prayers and sympathy goes out to the citizens and Tea Party members of Aurora, Colorado.Secondly, shame on you ABC's Brian Ross by linking Aurora theater shooter to Tea Party.Tea Party-bashing begins anew: ---ABC "apologizes for incorrect" Tea Party lie:"An earlier ABC News broadcast report suggested that a Jim Holmes of a Colorado Tea Party organization might be the suspect, but the report was incorrect. ABC News and Brian Ross apologize for the mistake, and for disseminating that information before it was properly vetted"---We heard that report that ABC suggested it could be a "Tea Party" Member. WTF is wrong with these news people? The Tea Party is the most peaceful, caring Patriotic group on this planet! Anyone who vilifies the Tea Party is EVIL and SICK. They keep trying to perpetuate the myth that somehow, us caring people only want smaller government and lower taxes are violent people. For a supposed NEWS group to even suggest in any way without ANY facts that this could be Tea Party member "is irresponsible and slanderous" to boot.We are done with ABC News from this day forward. This massacre was a tragic act by one person, and your anchors and/or producers are rushing to report something to politicize this event? Find a tie to the Tea Party? What the hell?Once again, the Obama lapdog media has demonstrated it's gleeful recklessness with the truth. Despite the fact we've come to expect this kind of behavior, we are nevertheless ceaselessly amazed by the lows which the media will stoop to push a failed agenda.

Journalism today is a joke,look how (NBC) lies for Obama day in and day out. An apology isn't enough. All those involved should be fired, their credibility in the news industry is ruined!Despicable...It's a sad day in America!We are all "Proud Hoosier Tea Party" Members here at Freedom Of Speech.

Why is New Albany Police Chief Sherry Knight asking the commissioners for $250,000 to help with operational costs?Why is Councilman Dan Coffey asking the council to appropriate $100,000 for Riverfront Amphitheater, bicentennial events and emergency costs as deemed necessary by the board of works?Why is Coffey not supporting the recommendation of the company he chose to do an audit by?Since Mayor Gahan states "our budget is in good shape" something doesn't pass the smell test here!Each of these departments have an approve budget. Why don't they respect the approved budget?Do you really want to hear the bad scenario?What's the difference between the City of New Albany and THE Titanic?The people on the Titanic didn't vote to hit the iceberg and neither did we taxpayers!

It's time for you Romney to grow some...well you know what we mean! We need to see some fire in the belly, we need an attack dog and not some wussy fufu puppy.

Regardless of how one feels about the reporter who interrupted Obama during his speech (Obama brazenly bypassed Congress and the lawmaking process to announce he would order his administration to NOT deport certain illegal immigrants), the reporter's actions were NOT because of Obama's skin.

Again the MSM Liberal Media Sam Donaldson grabbed into his bag of BS for another race card to play....

Then, Donaldson revealed his blant bias by writing that many on the right who opposes Obama do so NOT because of Obama's leftists policies but because of the color of his skin:And there is one more factor, let's face it: Many on the political right believe this president out NOT to be there - they oppose him not for his policies and political view but for who he is an African American.How about some truth about Obama?Why we won't support Obama:

* Over 923+ Executive orders put forth from Obama. He is creating a martial law "Disney Land" of control covering everything imaginable.

* FISA Amendments Act in 2008

* He continues to pursue other military adventures around the world without congressional authorizations

* He has refused, for the most part, to prosecute Wall Street criminals

* His response to the BP oil spill disaster was shamefully inadequate

* While failing to lead in reform, he has boldly asserted the prerogatives of the imperial presidency, and has increased the executive branch's intrusions on, and violations of, the constitutional rights and liberties of the American people

* 20+ million people with incomes below the poverty line

* Six million+ living on food stamps

* 246+ Million sunk in total desperation have NO jobs

* Obama opposes single-payer health care

And that's just the tip of a very large iceberg.* Corporate stimulus packages and bail outs

* Gave billions of dollars to failed corporations* ObamacareShould we continue our list of lies and screw ups by Obama?"We're NOT racists we don't like Biden either..."

Good morning!Mayor Jeff M. Gahan wanted to make sure that you knew about the upcoming Mayor's Night at the 4-H Fair, being held this year on Wednesday, July 11th. This is always a fun night for everyone involved, especially for families! Mayor Gahan will be handing out free ride tickets to children, so be sure to bring the whole family down for a night of games, food and fun! Michael HallFreedom Of Speech would like to say:Is this why we pay big bucks to Michael Hall to send out "emails @ 10:45 am and to drink swill" during working hours?

First of all we hope our readers had a great Fourth of July. We had a great mini vacation in Washington, DC."The debate over equitable funding of the New Albany Floyd County Parks Department has sparked many reactions over the past year, especially after Gahan in April vetoed a new agreement that had been passed by the county and the New Albany City Council." "Parks officials approached the county as reported in our News & Tribune June 21, 2012 about establishing the new tax. Parks board Vice Chairman Steve LaDuke said that while final numbers are being determined, early estimates are that the new levy would cost taxpayers between $5 to $8 a year."Source: News & Tribune June 21, 2012The Cumulative Capital Fund Tax must be approved by the commissioners, NOT the County Council!This County Cumulative Capital Fund Tax won't PASS. It takes two of three commissioner to VOTE for it and this tax will not fly!Bush & Freiberger break their silence:"I'm NOT for the tax. I think the councils should sit down and go over the budget and share the funding. The council paid equal funding for 2012 and that should continue. Also, a new agreement should be in place for equal board members to the parks and we had a new census in 2010 and this should be reflected in the agreement."Steve BushCommissioner"I am NOT in favor of a capital building tax for the parks. Our county council has funded the parks for what the county has obligated. The city has given more than the county, that is true. They decided to do so. I wish the county could give more because I believe in having great parks, but if we don't have the money we can't. The State of Indiana kept million of dollars from the county so why should taxpayers pay more because the state didn't give us the amount we should have received? This is another way the state legislature and senate can pass a tax at the local level and build up reserves at the state level. The state needs to fund the county properly. If the local agreement the city and county has is followed, and we receive the correct funds from the state. I believe the parks will be funded without raising taxes for the capital building fund."Chuck FreibergerCommissionerFreedom Of Speech would like to say:We need to stop the double taxation of city residents for parks. City and County Councils need to sit down and Gahan should stop pointing fingers. If the county has to pay back previous park funding then the city should also pay back the Sewer Fund, Stormwater Fund, TIF and EDIT Funds!Think about it Mr. Gahan....
